What is Cision?
Cision is an online program that allows due-paying members to distribute press releases to a customized list of journalists and bloggers compiled in a database. Members can filter media contacts by keyword, job role, contact location, outlet location and more. Once contacts are filtered and media lists are composed, press releases are disseminated. Cision reports analytics that measure earned media coverage and campaign success. Translated analytics can produce insight for communicators to determine the effectiveness of a message or strategy.
